Azusa Unified School District Board Meeting

The Azusa Unified School District Board held a meeting on July 15, 2026, primarily to discuss the status and future steps regarding the sale of surplus district properties. The board reviewed the progress of three properties—former Sierra High School, Allington School, and Powell Elementary School—which are moving forward with a developer, Trumark, for a purchase price of $31 million. However, due to a significant price reduction request from Trumark and subsequent termination of that transaction, the district pivoted to another developer, Taylor Morrison, but also parted ways. The board is now focusing on the Mountain View property and is seeking to renew a waiver from the state of California that allows consideration of terms beyond the lowest bid in property sales. The board unanimously approved a motion to submit this waiver renewal to the state, enabling more flexible negotiation terms for the Mountain View property sale. No specific buyer has been finalized for Mountain View, and the board is addressing issues related to property density and other requirements affecting sale terms.
